Why Is This Important?

Long Story Short

A topless picture of Charlotte McKinney, who frequently appears in demurely covered topless photos, is making the rounds on Instagram. It's unclear how long it will stay up.

Long Story

There are lots of ways to make a living in the world. You could go the college route, learn a trade or even start your own business. Of course for a select few among us, an easier way is to simply be born with supermodel good looks and comic book superheroine proportions, like Charlotte McKinney, one of the hottest women on Instagram. While she's no stranger to posting nude photos (sometimes consensually, sometimes not), the latest pick of her making the rounds is making headlines for one reason: she's fully topless.

Charlotte has risen to status such that you're unlikely to ever see her nude in anything other than this kind of artsy, high-fashion shot. But she's still topless, and there's nothing covering the goods but some shadows. Given that, it begs the question: how is Instagram, with their draconian nipple policies, allowing a picture that pretty clearly includes nipple to remain posted? Answer: there are no nipples.

That's the image with the brightness turned up and a couple of other edits applied, and in doing so it's pretty obvious that she either did the shoot with pasties, or had her nipples edited out before posting it. Since that's kind of a bummer, enjoy these other pics from Charlotte's Instagram where she's (very tastefully) naked.
